Fully inspired and the conference behind us we headed off for our road trip down the famous Garden Route to Capetown.

For those who have not been there before, we found the best way to describe this gorgeous region is that this part of the South African landscape seems to have smaller pieces of Australia all joined together!!?? Yes may sound weird but at times it looks just like rural NSW, then the west coast of Tasmania then we have southern ocean beaches. Stunning drive on perfect roads. Storms River mouth was rugged, stormy and energizing with its rainforest by the wild ocean and absolutely freezing. The phenomenal real estate and views at Plettenberg Bay were a direct contrast to many of the shanty towns that house huge numbers of population in appalling conditions along this route. Stories of fires burning through hundreds of shacks, no electricity, minimal water and poor health are unfortunately commonplace in this region too.
